Licensed Novato plumbers handling repairs, repipes, and new installs across Hamilton, Bel Marin Keys, San Marin, and Ignacio.
Novato spans more ground than any city in Marin, and its plumbing shows it: 1950s-70s tract homes in San Marin, Pleasant Valley, and Ignacio still running original galvanized supply and cast-iron sewer laterals, alongside waterfront builds in Bel Marin Keys and reclaimed-land housing at Hamilton. Layer in the hard water North Marin Water District pulls from Stafford Lake, and you get scaled water heaters, crusted fixtures, and slow drains as the norm. John Owens Services has worked these exact neighborhoods since 1986, so we diagnose before we dig and fix the cause, not just the symptom.
Most days we offer same-day service in Novato from our San Rafael shop just down Highway 101, and most repairs are completed in a single visit. For burst pipes or sewer backups, call and we'll be there within hours.
Yes — repiping aging galvanized supply lines is some of our most common Novato plumbing installation work, from San Marin and Pleasant Valley to Ignacio. As a licensed C-36 contractor (#501853) we pull permits and install to current Marin County code.
Novato's hard water from Stafford Lake leaves scale that shortens water-heater life and clogs fixtures. We flush and size units for it, and install high-efficiency heat pump water heaters that qualify for California electrification rebates.
Every plumber we send is fully licensed, bonded, and insured under California C-36 license #501853. John holds five trade licenses, so the same crew can handle plumbing, water heaters, and related systems on one visit.
From the Marin coast to Sonoma wine country, we bring honest plumbing, heating & cooling to homeowners across both counties — based locally since 1986.
